Don’t be making the mistake of thinking that San Francisco’s election is only about San Francisco.
The New Democratic Network which draws a lot of money and support from Silicon Valley’s business-oriented Democrats – people like the ones whose names appear at the bottom of the GavinTech invite – rolls into town on Friday. Guess who their keynote speaker is? Okay, so it’s not hard. Gavin himself is scheduled to wake them all up at 9:15 a.m.
The NDN is playing the city election as a way to sell their version of big-D Democratic politics as a way to rescue the party from the likes of Lefty Liberals like Gonzalez.
And if this photo on their website is any indication, The Greens think the stakes are just as high.
